lyrics

It's whiskey on the rocks and real close calls
Pick me ups in a bathroom stall
Wondering if I'd ever make it back home
I've been spending my time just pushing my luck
The wheels are turning but my life is fucked
Won't someone throw this old dog a bone
And all those nights chasing women around
Getting high and falling down
Have beaten my heart black and blue
All the women that I've loved before
Late at night behind closed doors well
They can't hold a single candle to you

And it's a long road to salvation
Just a short trip to damnation
And I'm so impatient
I'll take the short route every time

I know that I've made mistakes
'Cause I can still feel the weight
Where they rest deep in my soul
We've only got ourselves to blame
For the choices that we've made
Or have we all just been playing our roles
And it all comes back on you in the end
Just like a long lost lover or an old time friend
It seems we all got our own debts to pay
Love ain't easy no and life ain't cheap
If you want to make it son you gotta dig deep
I wish I had a little more to say

And it's a long road to salvation
Just a short trip to damnation
And I'm so impatient
I'll take the short route every time
